what we think

We are excited to announce that R&P China Lawyers has been featured in the recent Legal500 China rankings for Labour and Employment in China. This recognition underscores our commitment to providing exceptional legal services to multinational corporations (MNCs), particularly those from Europe and North America.

Leadership and Expertise

The team is recognized for their expertise in handling employee fraud cases, managing mass lay-offs, and dealing with labor disputes. Robin Tabbers, Maarten Roos, Eric Yuan and Rogier van Bijnen have received special mention, and bring a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to our clients, ensuring that we deliver effective solutions tailored to their needs.

Client Testimonials

The Legal500 editorial commentary highlights our strengths, with testimonials from clients praising our approach:

• “Track record in managing Chinese local labour and employment law on behalf of international companies. Great value for money and clear and rapid response to any queries.”
• “Rapid response. Clarity in feedback. Knowledge. Understanding both legal elements as well as practical matters.”

Notable Work Highlights

Over the past 12 months, our team has supported on numerous complex employment projects, often including senior management fraud or the mass termination of employees. Two significant cases that Legal500 highlighted were:

• Successfully advising a global shipping company in negotiating and documenting a mass settlement with 2,000 employees from one of their subsidiaries following a work stoppage related to an acquisition.
• Assisting a global PCB quality assurance company in closing three operational entities across China, which resulted in the mass termination of over 50 staff.

This recognition by Legal500 not only reflects our expertise in labour and employment law but also reinforces our dedication to supporting our clients through complex legal landscapes in China.
